Moderators

There are senior members on the forums who serve as Moderators. These volunteers keep the board organized and moving.
Moderators are authorized to: (in order of increasing severity)
Move posts to the correct forums. Many times, members post in the wrong forum. These off-topic posts may impede the normal operation of the forum.
Edit posts. Moderators will edit posts that are offensive or break any of the House Rules.
Delete posts. Posts that cannot be edited to comply with the House Rules will be deleted.
Restrict members. This is one of the last punishments before a member is banned. Restrictions may include placing all new posts in a moderation queue or temporarily banning the offender.
Ban members. The most severe punishment. Three or more moderators or administrators must agree to the ban for this action to occur. Banning is reserved for very severe offenses and members who, after many warnings, fail to comply with the House Rules. Banning is permanent. Bans cannot be removed by the moderators and probably won't be removed by the administration.


The Rules

1. Warez, copyright violation, or any other illegal activity may NOT be linked or expressed in any form. Topics discussing techniques for violating these laws and messages containing locations of web sites or other servers hosting illegal content will be silently removed. Multiple offenses will result in consequences. File names are not required to discuss your issues. If filenames are copyright then do not belong on these forums & will be edited out or post removed. Picture sample attachments in posts must not include copyright infringement.

2. Spamming and excessive advertising will not be tolerated. Commercial advertising is not allowed in any form, including using in signatures.

3. There will be no excessive use of profanity in any forum.

4. There will be no racial, ethnic, or gender based insults, or any other personal attacks.

5. Pictures may be attached to posts and signatures if they are not sexually explicit or offensive. Picture sample attachments in posts must not include copyright infringement.

6. Remember to post in the correct forum. Take your time to look at other threads and see where your post will go. If your post is placed in the wrong forum it will be moved by a moderator. There are specific Gnutella Client sections for LimeWire, Phex, FrostWire, BearShare, Gnucleus, Morpheus, and many more. Please choose the correct section for your problem.

7. If you see a post in the wrong forum or in violation of the House Rules, please contact a moderator via Private Message or the "Report this post to a moderator" link at the bottom of every post. Please do not respond directly to the member - a moderator will do what is required.

8. Any impersonation of a forum member in any mode of communication is strictly prohibited and will result in banning.

9. Multiple copies of the same post will not be tolerated. Post your question, comment, or complaint only once. There is no need to express yourself more than once. Duplicate posts will be deleted with little or no warning. Keep in mind a forum censor may temporarily automatically hold up your post, if you do not see your post, do not post again, it will be dealt with by a moderator within a reasonable time. Authors of multiple copies of same post may be dealt with by moderators within their discrete judgment at the time which may result in warning or infraction points, depending on severity as adjudged by the moderators online.

10. Posts should have descriptive topics. Vague titles such as "Help!", "Why?", and the like may not get enough attention to the contents.

11. Do not divulge anyone's personal information in the forum, not even your own. This includes e-mail addresses, IP addresses, age, house address, and any other distinguishing information. Don´t use eMail addresses in your nick. Reiterating, do not post your email address in posts. This is for your own protection.

12. Signatures may be used as long as they are not offensive or sexually explicit or used for commercial advertising. Commercial weblinks cannot be used under any circumstances and will result in an immediate ban.

13. Dual accounts are not allowed. Cannot explain this more simply. Attempts to set up dual accounts will most likely result in a banning of all forum accounts.

14. Video links may only be posted after you have a tally of two forum posts. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam.

15. Failure to show that you have read the forum rules may result in forum rules breach infraction points or warnings awarded against you which may later total up to an automatic temporary or permanent ban. Supplying system details is a prerequisite in most cases, particularly with connection or installation issues.

Violation of any of these rules will bring consequences, determined on a case-by-case basis.


Thank You! Thanks for taking the time to read these forum guidelines. We hope your visit is helpful and mutually beneficial to the entire community.

Default Nothing to share

If I type in "Bush" or "Tool" or (god forbid) "Britney Spears" into BearShare on a PC I will get 1,500 listings in minutes. If I type the same thing into Limewire 3.3.5 on my Mac I will get maybe 2 songs, if I am lucky.

What gives? How can I find more things? Why on earth would I want to upgrade to Pro if this is the performance I can expect?

You got to wait until you are connected properly. LimeWire should return around 150 results before it stops the search.

And you should make sure you are not connected to Morpheus ultrapeers, - they suck. (enable the connection view to see what ultrapeers you are connected to).

Hmmm. I do wait until I am connected. I have looked at the connections/ultrapeers and rarely connect to anything that says Morpheus. I've even punched in the BearShare connections and addresses.

If I ever got 150 results on any Limewire search I wouldn't know what to do.

The point remains however. 150 on Limewire vs 1,500+ on BearShare. 10 times more. Why??

Limewire first off, is probably set to filter on your computer. For instance, I set Limewire to only report results coming from reliable (3 or 4 star) sources and with a speed of Cable or higher. Bearshare most likely just reports ever darn result it gets, regardless of whether or not you can download it. Limewire attempts to only report useable sources as results.

Hi, trap_jaw...

Look, I do know what he means... I've been playing with BS 4.2.8 for the last few days and the connects and search results are VERY quick...

I assume and HOPE that it is simply a matter of configuring LW a 'bit better'... You know a LOT more about LW than I ever will...

Not trying to be 'silly' here with this post, but there are currently some very different performance figures with BS... Blows Shareaza out of the water, as they say.

Comments ?

If LimeWire is connected to 4 ultrapeers and the connections seem stable (they are at least a minute old or so) than you should be seeing about 150 results per search (a little more for very popular searches like 'tool').
If that's not the case, something is wrong but I don't know exactly what it could be. Are you using the default settings?

Every LimeWire ultrapeer you are connected to sends only so many searches to other ultrapeers until it returned 38 results. Then it stops sending further searches and if you are lucky, a few more results trickle in. This is saving a lot of bandwidth and keeps users from entering general searches like "mp3 mp3".

Yes, it shows that BearShare finally banned all urn queries. The next BearShare version (4.3 or 4.4 or whatever) will stop returning so many results, btw.

Actually I have it set to accept anything- even 1 stars from Mars. Everything else (maybe even that?) is default as far as I can tell.

I think that is correct. I think BearShare does report everything it can find- but it reports pages and pages and pages and pages of what would be 3 and 4 star Limewire results in addition to some pretty dead garbage.

TrapJaw maybe onto something. I don't think I ever get 4 ultrapeers to stick around that long (multiple minutes). I wonder why?

Because of the LoveSan virus it's a little difficult to connect at the moment (I had connection problems during the last few days, too). - This may be one explanation.
Another possible explanation is that you internet connection is handling so much traffic your ultrapeer connections become instable. But you would have to handle a lot of traffic to see this happen.
